Not all the songs are real events, but I do write about stuff that is close to my heart and it comes out one way or another.

A different drumbeat or some vocal overdub could completely transform the song.

Live on coffee and flowers. Try not to worry what the weather will be.

Trying to make it and get people to respect your band, being a cool band-all of that stuff-I think we've arrived at a place where we have kids and everything is in perspective and it doesn't matter.

I have pit bulls barking at me on half of the love songs.

It takes us a long time to write a song that we all really like, so it makes sense that it would take a while for the listener to get there, too.

You gotta lean towards the things that make you like yourself. Forget everything else.
